Care Guide
1. Lighting: Full sun for the best blue foliage colour.
2. Watering: Water 2–3 times per week while establishing. Once established, water deeply every 2–3 weeks during prolonged dry periods. Avoid overwatering.
3. Soil: Well-drained soil. Performs best in sandy or gravelly soils.
4. Fertilising: Apply a light application of slow-release fertiliser in spring. Avoid excessive feeding, which can reduce the intensity of the blue foliage.
5. Pruning: Comb or remove old, brown foliage in late winter or early spring to keep the plant tidy and encourage fresh new growth.
